A structural damage detection method based on modal strain energy (MSE) change before
and after damage is presented in this paper. The localization of damage based on MSE of …

An improved structural damage quantification algorithm is presented based on the
elemental modal strain energy change before and after the occurrence of damage in a …

Several structural collapse incidents indicate that failure usually starts from beam-column
joints exposed to abnormal loads, especially for steel and composite structures. If the …

Existing research on structural damage detection usually requires information at every
degree of freedom, and this contradicts the usual practice of having a small number of …

This paper presents the results of a study of the performance of semirigid steel beam-to-
column connections under static and cyclic loadings. Tests are reported for connections …

Stainless steel is increasingly used in structural applications but there is still significant lack
of experimental evidence on the moment-rotation (M-φ) behaviour of moment resisting beam …

Traditional design of connections is limited to moment-rotation characteristics and the
information about the deformation capacities of connection components is quite limited …

A three-parameter exponential model is proposed to represent the behaviour of top-and seat-
angles with or without double web-angle connections. Two of the parameters, the initial …

Beam-to-column connections are regarded as one of the critical elements in structures,
especially in the case of bare metallic frame construction, as the overall structural …

Past experience has shown that stringer-to-cross-girder connections in riveted railway
bridges are susceptible to fatigue cracking. This fatigue damage is caused by secondary …
